Noted. These are all things that I hope to work on in time. The current Gtk+ 
GUI needs to be taken out and shot (it's a horrible mess), but as always time 
is the issue.

Actually, I've been mulling over whether it would be a good idea make the GUI 
a separate process which talks to E-UAE via shared mem or a pipe. A problem 
with Gtk+ is that it wont work if your binary is SUID root, which UAE really 
needs to be able to do cool stuff like a PCI wrapper, Catweasel support, or 
even to let you run in DGA mode (unless you want to run it as root, which 
isn't advisable).
